A Capital University student has confessed to concocting several hate crime incidents at the school as a way “to get attention.”

Senior Jalen Mitchell confessed to “submitting multiple false reports to campus police” after campus police asked him at the end of January if he had written a hate-filled note that was taped to his residence’s door.

“It was a way to try to get attention, to say ‘Someone notice me, I’m dying on the inside,’” Mitchell told the Chimes, the student newspaper.

It seems Mitchell has been seeking “notice” for at least two years at the Columbus, Ohio school. In 2015, he pulled a stunt similar to this recent one, and the school responded as you might expect: “a series of events, including an open conversation and an inclusivity march, to raise awareness of the possibility of hate crimes here on campus.”
